Solid Waste Division

Small city-run solid waste facility in east Stockton that handles household trash, yard trimmings and basic recycling for residents and small haulers. Many locals bring pickup loads or small trailers here when curbside pickup won't cut it. It sits on a busy stretch of E Hazelton and looks like a working yard rather than a neat retail place.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop - there's usually a scale shortly after entering and another stop on the way out. Concrete tipping areas and piles of green waste or mixed material are visible from the driveway; recycling bins or roll-offs are often placed near the right-hand side past the booth. Vehicles are directed to different drop-off points depending on material, so expect to drive around a bit and back up to a bay. Weekends and spring cleanup days get crowded, so lines at the gate can form.
